Paper Handling 31
Labels
To print on labels, you must use continuous paper loaded on the pull
tractor. Keep the following tips in mind:
❏ Set the paper thickness lever to the correct position for labels.
(See page 29.)
❏ Choose labels mounted on a continuous backing sheet with sprocket
holes designed for tractor use. Do not print labels as single sheets,
because the shiny backing causes the paper to slip slightly.
❏ Load labels the same way you load ordinary continuous paper.
See page 20 for loading instructions.
❏ Because labels are especially sensitive to temperature and humidity,
use them only under normal operating conditions.
❏ Do not leave labels loaded in the printer between jobs; they curl
around the platen and may jam when you resume printing.
❏ To remove the labels from the printer, tear off the fresh supply at the
back of the printer; then press the LF/FF button to advance the
remaining labels out of the printer.

Caution:
Never feed labels backward through the printer; they can easily peel off the
backing sheet and jam the printer.
Envelopes
You can feed envelopes individually using the paper guide. Keep the
following tips in mind:
❏ Set the paper thickness lever to the proper position. See page 29.
❏ To load an envelope, follow the steps on page 27 for printing a
single sheet. Insert the envelope printable-side down,
wide-edge-first, between the edge guides. Push it firmly and hold it
until it feeds into the printer.
❏ Use envelopes only under normal temperature and humidity
conditions.
❏ Make sure the printing stays entirely within the printable area.
❏ The print head must not go past the left or right edge of the
envelope or other thick paper. It’s a good idea to print a test sample
using a normal single sheet of paper before you print on envelopes.
